3rd Annual Breakfast Meeting with the Health and Safety Organizations, November 17, 2016

2015 Breakfast hosted by the Radiation Safety Institute of Canada

On Thursday November 17, 2016, the Radiation Safety Institute of Canada will host its 3rd Annual Breakfast Meeting with its Health and Safety Partners. The meeting is organized to bring together national and provincial Health and Safety Organizations:

This breakfast event is our way of thanking all our partners for their support of the Institute’s radiation safety mandate and its prevention agenda. During the meeting we will give a short briefing on the Institute’s ongoing projects and our new initiatives. At the end of the event we will invite the leaders of our partner organizations to sign the Memorandums of Understanding with the Institute for the year 2016-2017 and to discuss ways we can work together to further the ultimate goal of PREVENTION in the province.

What we want to keep in focus are potential risks posed by radiation in a typical Canadian workplace. According to the International Labour Organization an estimated 609,000 work-related cancer deaths occur worldwide each year, it still amounts to one work-related cancer death every 52 seconds.
